For those of you that want or need a single point of information for raffles, I’m attempting to again put it all in one place for you. I’ll try to also provide individual postings on each raffle, but not sure I’ll be able to keep that up as attempted in years past – just not enough time.

UPDATE: I've decided to try it a little differently this year. Since many folks seem to be focused on species (or subspecies) rather than place, I'll attempt to list the raffles on that basis. Please let me know what folks prefer. Thanks!

Quite a few raffle opportunities are available, as you can see...

The time for the drawings to start is very near. Check the list and be sure that you are in on those that are of interest to you.

The above listing is updated as I become aware of new raffles or of availability of tickets for raffles that tend to occur year after year.

Good Luck!

Amazingly, all five winners of the five various Grand Slam Club / Ovis raffles were in the banquet room in Las Vegas tonight when they were drawn.

Please be aware that I continue to update this listing as raffles are added or dates changed. There are several new opportunities just added.

Just a couple of raffles left in 2009... An Aoudad hunt for 5 hunters and a Desert Bighorn hunt, both in Texas.

The 2010 listing is started, and will of course be added to as opportunities arise. You can find that list at http://forums.wildsheep.org/ev...18104372/m/252100002 .
